Chapter 940: Wasn't it, stabbed in the back?
This outrageous operation by Samsung Offshore Engineering actually disrupted Chang Haonan's originally planned schedule to a certain extent.
If potential public opinion risks like this cannot be nipped in the bud in advance, once they ferment, it will be difficult to resolve them.
Therefore, throughout late October, he was running around on this matter.
As a result, after finally settling this matter, another even more outrageous job was involved.
In short, although Chang Haonan had left the follow-up processing of the Aegis baseline 7.1 intelligence directly to Fu Youquan, just properly arranging the handover and liaison with Yin Zhongxian took up a lot of his time.
However, the impact of this emergency incident is not entirely negative.
At least, Torch Group's popularity has increased by more than one level than in the past.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chang Haonan also asked the publicity department to concentrate their efforts to create a wave of momentum for the upcoming 2.0 version of TORCH Multiphysics.
Especially in the field of computational fluid dynamics, which is currently the most stressful area -
Also due to the delay of Samsung Offshore Engineering, when competitor COMSOL released version 2.5 with huge performance improvements, Chang Haonan did not participate in the comprehensive testing of the software at the first time, and the technical department led by Wei Yongming is now working for Torch Group He was so busy with his own update plan that it was obviously impossible to free up too many people.
In the end, we could only focus on the numerical calculation business department that Liu Hongbo was responsible for, and tried to do several projects with the new version of COMSOL Multiphysics, which was a simple way to understand the current development level of our friends.
This led to the fact that in the last few days of late September, the entire computational fluid dynamics circle was filled with COMSOL promotions and advertisements almost everywhere.
Although Torch Group's current business volume and the number of reservations for TORC Multiphysics 2.0 have not been significantly affected by this, as a leader in the industry, it certainly cannot remain indifferent to this.
When Liu Hongbo and Song Jingming found Chang Haonan together, the latter was in the computer room of the Torch Laboratory, optimizing the image segmentation and target tracking algorithms of the Ocean-1 satellite.
In fact, "processing remote sensing data on the satellite side" is a technical issue that needs to be overcome urgently in the third decade of the 21st century.
Judging from the current level of aerospace-grade hardware in the early 21st century, it is impossible to complete a very complicated calculation process.
Although according to the wishes of the National Space Administration, this time we only need to make some sense and verify the technical feasibility. We can wait a few years for truly functional satellites.
But Chang Haonan felt that there was not completely no room for maneuver.
Because Haiyang-1 is not an ordinary remote sensing satellite.
The core load on it is a marine surveillance system.
Since it is ocean "surveillance", it is naturally impossible to watch everything.
Instead, stare at something important.
Therefore, in an image or a series of images taken by Ocean-1, there are only a few specific target areas that people are really interested in.
Therefore, a more realistic way of thinking is actually -
The image is separated on the satellite side, and the area where the target may exist is extracted, and then transmitted to the ground for image recognition, positioning, and even understanding.
In this way, the space-borne equipment does not need to bear too high computing intensity, but it can greatly reduce the amount of data transmitted from the sky to the ground, as well as the workload of subsequent ground data processing.
Kill two birds with one stone.
It can not only complete technical verification tasks, but also allow Ocean One to perform some functions.
It was originally expected that this work would start in the second half of October, but it was delayed for a while, so the progress was delayed by half a month.
Fortunately, Chang Haonan's schedule is already sufficiently advanced, so it will not affect the launch window of Ocean One.
Liu Hongbo and Song Jingming saw that their boss was busy and did not dare to interrupt immediately. Instead, they waited until Chang Haonan looked up from behind the monitor.
"Mr. Chang."
Song Jingming took two steps forward:
"We came here this time for the sake of COMSOL..."
He was only halfway through his words when Chang Haonan raised his hand to stop him:
"It's not convenient to talk about this in the computer room. Let's go up and talk."
After finishing speaking, he waited for a few seconds, and after confirming that the test data had been completely imported, he hit the Enter key.
Then he took off his lab coat and returned to the office in the main building with his two subordinates.
As usual, Chang Haonan still listens to technical issues first.
"For this trial, a total of 9 people from our Numerical Computing Business Department were assigned to participate. However, one of them was assigned to an important calculation business midway through the trial, so it was not completed. Including myself, the evaluations of the other 8 people have been Sent to your email."
Liu Hongbo has now completely adapted to the feeling of being a subordinate to Chang Haonan, and his title has become CEO Chang as smoothly as silk.
Don't ask, just ask, it smells really good.
Chang Haonan also opened the office computer at this time, entered the mailbox skillfully, and immediately saw the email sent by Liu Hongbo.
Located in the second position of your inbox.
There is a PDF file attached.
The size is not large.
Even with the Internet speed of 2001, it downloaded quickly.
Chang Haonan quickly looked at the computing environment and project introductions mentioned in the eight people's reports, and frowned slightly:
"These tests...are very mild..."
What he has always wanted to know most is how the other party will solve the problem of high calculation weight in the calculation process of viscoelastic constitutive equations. Unfortunately it was not covered in these tests.
Liu Hongbo also looked embarrassed at this time:
"Mr. Chang, our numerical calculation business department is not specialized in testing. We can only use it during the project."
“First of all, most of the projects we have at hand are entrusted by companies and schools with insufficient level, so the difficulty is not high.”
"Furthermore, the final calculation result is still responsible to Party A after all, so even if we encounter a more complex or difficult problem, we don't dare to try it with unfamiliar software..."
"Sigh...that's the truth."
Chang Haonan nodded slightly, and then looked at the more detailed evaluation content behind.
It must be admitted that for these relatively common CFD processes, COMSOL Multiphysics2.5 has high computational efficiency and accuracy.
Especially when computer hardware performance is limited, it can even surpass TORCH Multiphysics in some projects.
This is the first time this has happened in the past few years.
"Our opponents are also exerting their strength..."
Chang Haonan said with emotion.
Established developed countries, if you push them hard, they can still come up with something.
Seeing that Liu Hongbo had no intention of continuing the topic, Song Jingming took out a printed "Publicity Plan" from his briefcase:
"Mr. Chang, the idea of the publicity department is that it is difficult to objectively reflect the efficiency of computing software through one or several data, and if we engage in Chunqiu calligraphy, it will be suspected of false propaganda, and in the long run it will damage our own brand. "
“Therefore, the next promotion in the CFD field should focus on other aspects. For example, compared with competitors whose main users are universities and research institutions, our software is more proven in the commercial field. We can focus on the participation of TORC Multiphysics. And products or projects with great influence.”
"For example, we have negotiated terms with Ferrari...not the Ferrari that makes machine tools, but the Ferrari that cooperates with us to develop racing cars. We will hold an end-of-season open day in December, and then we will design a car that contains elements of our company. Special racing livery to celebrate their fourth consecutive team championship.”
In this timeline, Ferrari won the constructors' championship as early as 1998 and has never given up this honor to anyone since.
The Torch Group's LOGO has been occupying the second most dazzling position on the side of its racing car for the past four years.
In addition, Torch Group has also participated in the research and development of racing cars in the past three years to a considerable extent through the Jinling Research Center.
All in all, it is indeed an excellent promotional material.
Chang Haonan was relatively reassured about the work Song Jingming was handling.
Since he was transferred to the Aerospace Power Group, all non-technical daily work of Torch Group Technology has been presided over by the former.
In more than two years, there has never been any major trouble.
Therefore, Chang Haonan felt a lot more relaxed after seeing this plan.
Brand effect is generally a weapon used by European and American companies to suppress Chinese companies.
But when it comes to numerical calculations, the situation is exactly the opposite.
Torch Group is definitely a golden brand.
Chang Haonan rubbed his swollen eyebrows with one hand, and prepared to close the browser page with the other hand.
However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the email that was ranked above Liu Yongbo.
According to the rules, that email should have been received a short time ago.
So he stopped and clicked into his inbox again.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the email actually came from Dassault.
There are actually a lot of contacts between the two companies, but not many can openly use the email channel.
In fact, there is only the Falcon Z business jet project...
After clicking on it, sure enough, it was a design optimization report for the Falcon Z business jet.
Not something important.
In fact, it is something that is sent to all the people in charge for backup.
No need to even reply.
Therefore, Chang Haonan just scrolled the email page to the bottom and had no intention of downloading the attachment.
However, one file in the attachment list piqued his interest.
Strictly speaking, it is the extension of this file.
cmph
"hiss…"
Chang Haonan's eyelids twitched -
Since the .mph extension has been occupied by TORCH Multiphysics, the extension of COMSOL's similar products has to be set to .cmph...
in other words.
He seems...
Got stabbed in the back…
